Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 Review: A promising update

Open it and you will be spoiled with a massive 8-inch screen, a decent size of the 7.6-inch fold6-like does it better for multitasking, since apps can use the room better. I still don’t think that multitasking is as great as on that OnePlus openBut I like some of the new improvements like the blocked window. In this way you have two apps in split screen, but you can push one to the side so that it is mostly hidden and is still quickly accessible.

Fortunately, the cameras have a little more parity with the Galaxy S25 Ultra, whereby the 200 MP main camera delivers sharp results, regardless of the times of the day. (You can also activate the 200 MP mode for super-detailed recordings, even though you need good lighting for the best results.)

The more I used the fold7, the more I couldn’t stop thinking about the price. You can buy one at 2,000 US dollars Nice smartphone And A powerful, Big screen tablet. I prefer to have the 5 -time optical zoom camera on the Galaxy S25 Ultra compared to the limited 3 -fold zoom on the Fold7. And yes, even if I don’t use the Sstift a lot, I like to have the pen to sign documents and occasional scribbling. (This FOLD7 no longer supports the S -Stift.) The battery life remains on the Fold7, which hardly lasts a whole day, and this is without significant use of the larger internal screen. On the S25 Ultra you can easily go with a single load for a day and a half.

When I’m on a tablet, I like to use it for the Big Screening Real Estate, and some apps use the additional space better than the Fold7. By default, the FOLD7 apps such as Google Mail does not display with the two -grinder view. You have to display the settings and make the screen smaller to enable this functionality. Then everything looks a bit smaller, which may defeat the purpose for people who prefer the larger screen for readability (at least you can increase the font size). I’m just not sure why this cannot be activated as a standard layout for apps like Gmail Mail.

I enjoyed my time with these phones and I think the updates are a big step in the right direction. But I prefer what Motorola did with his Razr flip telephonesThe price of the FOLD7 is so high, but you still do not receive any top end functions such as 5x optical zoom or a reliable battery life. Annoying, there is still a lot of unnecessary tinkering that you have to do with these phones to maximize your skills, but that’s a problem that is has plagued long Samsung telephones.
